How Love Island Games Works
Fan-favorite Islanders from previous seasons of Love Island USA, UK, and more battle it out for another chance at love — and money.
Here for love or just to play games? In Love Island Games, the answer is both as fan-favorite Islanders from previous seasons around the globe return in a competitive new format. Veterans of Love Island USA, UK, Australia, France, Belgium, Malta, and the Netherlands assemble in the Villa for another shot at finding love and winning the $100,000 cash prize.
Meet the cast and get your swimwear ready. Love Island Games Season 2 begins streaming Thursday, Sept 16, only on Peacock.
What is Love Island Games?
Love Island Games is the cheekiest iteration of Love Island, combining all the best elements of the beloved reality dating franchise with a twist: the Islanders are fan-favorite veterans of previous seasons from across the globe, and both team and couples’ challenges will play a central role in deciding who stays and who goes. And for the first time, America’s votes will also determine how far the Islanders go.
Who is hosting Love Island Games?
Love Island Games Season 2 is hosted by Ariana Madix, who also emcees Love Island USA. Love Island UK presenter Maya Jama hosted Season 1. Love Island UK Season 4’s Jack Fowler and Love Island USA Season 2’s Justine Ndiba won the inaugural season.
Iain Stirling is back as narrator, bringing his signature style of comedic commentary to guide viewers through the drama.
Love Island UK Season 5 alum Maura Higgins will continue as social ambassador, hosting exclusive videos on the show’s social media accounts.
How does Love Island Games work?
Just like in other seasons of Love Island, Love Island Games brings together sexy singles in a secluded Villa in Fiji, where they will form couples and test out their connections to try and find love, all while competing to avoid elimination and win the final prize. The Villa will be populated by fan-favorite Islanders from previous seasons of Love Island USA, UK, Australia, and more returning for another chance at love — and victory.
In Love Island Games, team and couples’ challenges will take on much greater importance, with results determining advantages, risks, and even who stays and who goes.
As gameplay takes a central role in the special new format, high-stakes challenges will create strategic advantages for the winners, fueling even more drama as Islanders must choose between coupling up for love or to get a competitive edge.
Season 2 will operate a little differently than before. America will be able to affect the outcome of the game as they follow along with the season in real time and cast their votes, which will determine the players’ fates.
When does Love Island Games Season 2 premiere?
Love Island Games Season 2 premieres Thursday, Sept 16, with new episodes dropping every day at 6p PT/9p ET during launch week, exclusively on Peacock.
